ducsd this week in Elkton, Jones cele-
brated Arm locked Bed-spring. Mr. Antes

poses TO manufacture them right here in
Elkton, and has completed business ar
rangemeDts to that end with Mr. Pavord in
the old Granite Hall building, Immediately
opposite the Howard House, and will put
them in any bedstsad for trial, and if not

spring secures the perfection of comfort at a
low cost, and when We reflect tn at one third
of every body's life is spent in bed, the
disideratun is to sleep comfortably, so as
to get back the wasted vital energy pend

everyone just this condition, and with a
clear conscience and one of Mr. Jones' pat
ent mattresses, this problem of life is fully
met 1t is durable, cheap. adjustable to
any bed, the springs are arm locked, tisxi-
BILE and will not break; no wire loops to tear
the bedding, aud it affords no harbor for
vermin. MIR Antes wants mechanics out
of employment, and live men in want of
a good business, are respectfully requested
to come and talk with him about the manu-
facture Of this very salable bed spring.
